    Our Mini Meet-Up at Colchester Zoo 17th March, 2010

    I really liked no.3 - a good take on an obviously overdone subject, made me do a double take.

    My Chester Zoo visit pt. I

    6. Always nice to get a little colour in with the Lions, this was the most I saw him move pretty much all day, they sure love to sunbathe! 7. Such lovely animals, my girlfriend remarked they're a good size between a house cat and say, a tiger, had us laughing for a while! 8...
